This Big Mac Salad transforms the iconic fast-food burger into a fresh, healthier salad version, complete with seasoned ground beef, crisp lettuce, pickles, cheese, and a homemade special sauce.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 head iceberg lettuce, shredded
  • 1/2 cup pickles, sliced
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup tomatoes, diced (optional)
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp ketchup
  • 1 tbsp yellow mustard
  • 1 tsp white vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 2 tbsp sweet relish
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked. Season with salt and pepper. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  2. While the beef cooks, shred the iceberg lettuce and place it in a large bowl.
  3. Add chopped onions, sliced pickles, and diced tomatoes (if using) over the lettuce.
  4. Once the beef is cooked and slightly cooled, add it on top of the salad base.
  5. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the salad.
  6. In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, and relish to create the special sauce.
  7. Drizzle the special sauce generously over the salad.
  8. Toss lightly or serve layered as preferred. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use lean ground beef or turkey for a lighter version.
  • Keep the dressing separate until serving to avoid soggy lettuce.
  • Customize with your favorite burger toppings like jalapeños or cucumbers.
  • Make the special sauce ahead of time for enhanced flavor.
